iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

it‘d be easy to backport those raw assets (tho another problem is that the DE original stuff outside of 2d mode kinda needs to be redone to match that fidelity) but engine shit’s another story yet another less-than-ideal square enix port unfortunately

000

cus the devs (more or less) weren’t thrilled with the state of UE4 around the time they started development & that would‘ve been stripped out for the switch version afaik which is partly why it looks different beyond the model & texture changes

100

it’s really bizarre, imma guess the switch version & DE in general has a lotta weird technical fuckery going on that complicates things i assume they used a newer build of UE4 compared to vanilla and iirc, the original version of DQ11 used some kind of middleware for lighting/shading stuff (cont.)

100

lotta work to spin up native builds & a new version of their SDK for an engine that prolly has a lot of old spaghetti code from the early 360/ps3 era

000

come to think of it i believe there haven’t been any native MT framework games on the current gen systems actually, the most recent stuff is just 8th gen and ofc is backwards compatible

100

not like they threw out all the code ofc but that would mean things have been reorganized, ppl who could’ve handled support for MT framework projects or work on it in isolation have been reassigned etc

100

fighter/arcade compilations & i think some of the mega man collections during 8th gen it seems they’ve p. much stopped, mega man star force LC apparently runs on RE engine so imma guess they’ve completely phased out MT internally

100

gonna guess porting to a new platform opens a different bag of worms cus their old engine (MT framework) wouldn’t have a native switch 2 build and compared to how they were still occasionally using it for certain new games beyond ps3/360 ports i.e monhun world, internally developed (cont.)

weird how capcom’s seemingly just gonna skip over porting devil may cry 4 SE to switch/switch 2 i always assumed a port on the former didn’t happen cus LDK mode might’ve been problematic performance-wise (+ idk how the ports of 1, 2 and 3 sold) but jumpin straight to 5 on sw2’s odd

i wish all the mods involved in this in a very “consider therapy and look into stress management exercises”

RE:R getting ported to consoles & PC barely a year later comes off like a salvage project (assuming that wasn’t already the plan) cus it was too late to cancel it on 3DS/completely move development to consoles altogether lol

010

which felt like something that was gonna lead to them having a bigger presence on the system in the event it was gonna be as big as the DS before they pivoted to ace attorney and a monhun port/remake (followed by sequels) using as many recycled psp/ps2 assets as possible

and the plot of assassin’s creed revelations was basically a rework of a cancelled 3DS game apparently thinkin of how capcom got a fork of MT framework running on it & prolly only used it in 3 games (the most notable being resident evil revelations, cus revelations is everybody’s favorite subtitle)

really funny how the 3ds and vita a couple of high profile projects that were gonna be made for it until they came out & it was clear the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze (vita was a commercial failure & 3DS bombed in year 1) untitled bioshock & resident evil games for the vita were announced iirc

reading into some of this stuff i hope all the apologists are ready for the non-zero chance he makes a reactionary/chud grifter pivot within the next year or two after the patreon money (hopefully) really slows down

the whole “emulator for exotic and often poorly documented pieces of hardware” thing is ultimately a house of cards that will fall apart the more devs lean on this shit, lotta stuff‘s gonna break

191

legality’s a funny argument cus emulation is extremely fucked the minute any company tries to take a dev to court over that bit in the DMCA about circumventing DRM & shit lol, granted this could accelerate things but it’s gonna happen eventually i think what bothers me more tho is that (cont.)

1150

if they ever remade other m or did some kinda do-over of its general plot & decided to keep that bit the right thing to do would be to lean into the new ”woman literally too angry to die” direction & have samus slip into a episode that ends w/ her nearly blowing a federation soldiers head smoove off

010

makes the not-ridley shit in other m even funnier tbh, like i kinda dig the idea of giving samus ptsd over the guy who killed her family but this is technically like the 20th fucking time this mf’s shown up she should just be exhausted & extremely pissed off if anything

apparently samus returns adds a boss fight w/ him in a form that looks like a lot like his meta design so imma guess that was an attempt to bridge things a little (i imagine a remake of super would prolly do the same) but idk how canon remakes are supposed to be

it’s cool how ridley died only to come back like 4 times

still funny how metroid prime kinda exist in the same frame of “nobody gives a shit about the canon/timeline” as the zelda timeline but it’s more like, it’s really obvious the 2D games are functionally the only real canon but sakamoto isn’t allowed to say otherwise lol

borderline apocalyptic shit goin on dude, lotta load-bearing pillars that could crumble the second their owners decide to slop up their code & there’s no guarantee ppl are gonna pick up the slack w/ a fork or whatever

060

wow this sucks, it’s a good thing emulation is an extremely vibrant scene where there isn’t often functionally only 1 or 2 viable emus per system beyond old & inaccurate or WIPs that aren’t ready for mass ussssss- oh fuck

1154

it’s actually insane seeing so many people are makin it clear they have no real principles cus they developed a parasocial relationship with the “the quiet sadness of bing bing wahoo man galaxy“ guy & think it’s more important he can make more content for them instead of facing material consequences

020

a lot of these old “grinding’s basically necessary at times and the RNG has moments where it’ll roll an encounter for literally every step you take for a bit” rpgs def seerrrriously benefit from fast fowarding in emulators

010

it’s cute but it fuckin falls off a cliff whenever the difficulty ramps up and it reminds you the combat’s unseasoned chicken-ass stuff with a genuinely insane encounter rate

mother/earthbound beginnings sure is a Very Old JRPG huh

Severe @wlfgrrl128.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

got a weird & mid remake of 1 and a weird & straight-up shit remake of rondo or blood for some reason

000

i feel like 4’s def revered primarily by ppl who either started w/ it or really only played one of the NES games as a kid and were put off by the difficulty tbh considering it’s a remake of 1 i prefer the original wayyyy more lol, really funny how the genesis got a cool new CV while the SNES (cont.)
